Nice bike. Congrats on the purchase. I've been riding on Shinko brand tires for a few years and have no complaints about the performance and the prices are good on them. I think I'm on a set of shinko 712 on my gl500 right now.

 

I have a set of cb550 carbs just chilling in my garage if you want/need them. Just pm me if you do, I'll make you a good deal.

runs great seems to have new gaskets and oil , the PO put a ton of time into the thing than lost interest than sat for 6 years is what i gathered from the kid who sold it to me.

 

I got it for a deal considering other bikes with similar style 

 

I'm slammed with work so it will be little bits here and there, and because I know it already runs good that's a huge relief for the overall plan

 

this is also my first venture into metric bobbers
